The reason I'm asking is that similar bonding is also required in the
UK, but it is allowed to be an insulated conductor running through the
house - which is OK for AC safety, but a Very Bad Move for RFI and
lightning protection.)
In the USA you must bond your water piping system within 5 feet of the pipe
entrance to the structure, this bonding CAN BE within the building and a bare
or insulated wire marked with green coding. If you run a separate grounding
electrode(s) or network for your shack you must bond the ground system to
the electrical grounding system same as with the water pipe. The proper wire
can be run inside the house to connect them or a underground wire can be used
as long as they are bonded together. Lou
